Miniature donkeys are herd animals and they need the companionship of other herd type animals. While it is possible to get them to bond with horses, goats, and even cattle, the best companion for a donkey is another donkey, therefore, our preference is placing our donkeys into homes having at least one other donkey as a companion. We very, very rarely allow one of our donkeys to go to a home without other donkeys. Please keep this in mind when inquiring about any of our donkeys!



People have often asked us what the fascination is with donkeys. Well, the answer to us is their wonderful personalities. They are so friendly and easy to handle, are safe to be around, and are less expensive to keep than other equines. Miniature donkeys are very trustworthy around children, the elderly and the handicapped. They are easily trained to pull a cart, can be shown, and can even be ridden by small children. They are the perfect backyard pet!

If you are interested in any of our donkeys, please call or email with any questions you may have. All inquiries are promptly answered. If you are looking for something special, contact us as we may have others available who are not currently listed here. Delivery is available in most circumstances for an added fee, or we'd be happy to meet you part way. Due to their sociable nature, please note that we will not allow one lone donkey to go to a home that does not offer at least one other donkey as a companion!

This tiny little bundle is one of my kids' favorites. Born on Easter morning, Bunnie is out of one of our smallest jennets, Dora. Bunnie is a very light red at this point and is very small. I wouldn't expect her to pass 32" at maturity. She has a very sweet, laid back and friendly personality and loves attention. She will be registered prior to leaving our farm and as with all of our donkeys, Bunnie must go to a home having at least one other donkey as a companion.

Pricylla was our first foal of the year and is a sweet little jennet. She is put together very nicely, with straight legs, square build and a gorgeous head. Her color is a steel gray in person, very pretty, and she is a very friendly foal. Pricylla will make a fine brood jennet, show donkey or just a friendly pet. She will be registered prior to leaving our farm and can be weaned anytime after mid-June. As with all of our donkeys, she must go to a home having at least one other donkey as a companion.

Gray Jennet
DOB 8/21/08
Birth Height: 20.5"

Sire:  Shorecrests Little Buddy, 32.5" Light Sorrel
      Grand Sire:  Lawzyday Farm's Cherokee, 29.5" Sorrel
      Grand Dam:  Springlake Rosebud, 33" Light Sorrel


Dam:  KWA Faunas Peep, 32" Brown/Gray
      Grand Sire:  Bonnie's Woody, 33" Dark Gray
      Grand Dam:  KWA Faunas Bo, 33" Brown


This little girl reminds you of a tiny porcelain doll. She is so very little we decided to name her in honor of my 4 foot 10 inch mom, "Carol"! Don't worry, my mom is honored to have this little donkey be her namesake! Caroline is a perfect little package -- great pedigree, awesome square build, and the classic gray color that we find many of our customers prefer because, they say, when they imagine having a little donkey, gray is what they think of!

Caroline should mature on the tiny side, around 32", if even that. Her dam, Peep, is one of our best producers and happens to be the eldest donkey in our herd. She happens to be a Charlie Bandito grand-daughter. We've kept Peep around for a reason, and little Caroline is the perfect example of why. She would be a good pick to add a little gray back into your brood band, or if you are looking to add some red lines that Caroline brings to the table through her sire's side -- a little Lawzyday Cherokee & Sugar Daddy, mixed with LCR Valintino 50 and even LN Redsonnehi. Caroline is a wonderful example of some of those old favorite tried and true bloodlines brought together in one tiny package. She will be registered prior to leaving our farm and will be available to go to her new home around Christmas time -- unless I decide to keep her, which I may do since Peep is getting up there in breeding age and all of her daughters we've had in the past have sold before weaning age. Grab her while you can!

Dark Brown/Gray Jennet w/Dark Nose
DOB 7/10/08

Sire:  Wit's End Tyger Heart, 33.5" Dark Spotted
      Grand Sire:  Sunset Acres Speedway Racer, 31.5" Black/Brown w/NLP
      Grand Dam:  Windcrest Noelle, 32.5" Brown/White Spot


Dam:  Shorecrest's Molly Brown, 33" Dark Brown
      Grand Sire:  Heartland Acres Gus, 31" Black
      Grand Dam:  Orchard Farm Anita, 32.5" Dark Brown


Wow! This perfect little jennet is Molly's second foal, and is only Tyger's 5th. This was a combination we will definately repeat! Cynders is just plain awesome, for lack of a better description! I can't find a thing I would improve on her, from her conformation, build, color, pedigree, right down to her climb-in-your-lap personality.

Through her sire, Cynders has notable bloodlines including the likes of Sunset Acres Speedway Racer, My World Buster and even Circle C Little Motown (her great-great grandsire!). Cynders also boasts a full pedigree top and bottom on her dam's side going back to the imports. She will make a fantastic brood jennet one day, no doubt! Cynders is one of our best so far this year (and one of our favorites!!) and likely will wind up staying here as one of our own unless someone claims her quickly before we've made our final decision!

Brown Jennet

Dam:  Boone's Little Betty Jane, 31" Gray/White Spot
      Grand Sire:  Boone's Mr. Spotted Donk, 35" Brown/White Spot
      Grand Dam:  Boone's Little Rosealeta, 32.5" Red (Sorrel)


Sometimes naming foals can get a bit challenging, but little Jodie's name came about very easily. She was born on my husband's birthday, and his name is Joe... last name starts with a D... so, "Jodie" just seemed fitting! This little girl is very sweet and should remain quite small. She has a nice build and great pedigree behind her especially on her sire's side which is loaded with reds and small sizes. Come see her in person, we think you will like her just as much as we do!

"Shorecrest's Pretty Morgan"
Shorecrest's Pretty Morgan

(Click photos to enlarge)

32" Black Jennet
Birth Height:  22"
DOB 4/26/02

Sire:  Heartland Acres Gus, 31" Black
      Grand Sire:  SNS Tiny Tim, Brown (out of a 31" X 30" cross)
      Grand Dam:  SNS Fudgie, Brown (out of a 31" sire)


Dam:  SNS Murphy Brown, 34" Dark Brown
      Grand Sire:  SNS Tiny Tim, Brown
      Grand Dam:  SNS Coco I, Brown

I kept Morgan from our 2002 foals, hoping that she would one day become one of our top brood jennets. Morgan matured into exactly what I had hoped for, maturing small at 32" and all the while, keeping her perfect conformation that she had as a foal. I did not expect to ever be offering her for sale to a new home, but sometimes unexpected things happen. In this case, we've been unsuccessful in getting Morgan to settle in foal the past several years. Morgan has been exposed to two of our jacks since 2005 when she turned 3 years old. She routinely comes in season, but has yet to settle in foal. I hate to feel like we are giving up on her too soon, but to be honest, we are looking to cut our herd down a little this year anyway, and although there are several tests we could have the vet do to with Morgan, we have chosen to offer her as she is, knowing that she's been pasture exposed for the past 3 years and has not yet come in foal. She will make a wonderful pet for someone, or if you have a jack and a small herd of jennets, take a chance on her and you may one day be surprised with a foal. She is otherwise healthy and up to date on all of her vaccinations (5-way, Rabies, WNV, Potomac) and is registered through ADMS as well. Morgan is used to being with other donkeys 24/7, so I will only allow her to go a home with at least one other donkey as a buddy.

Gone to a new home!

Black NLP Jack w/Star

      Grand Sire:  Sunset Acres Speedway Racer, 31.5" Black/Brown w/NLP
      Grand Dam:  Windcrest Noelle, 32.5" Brown/White Spot


Dam:  LDF Diascia, 33" Brown
      Grand Sire:  PMF Chico Bandito, 32" Brown/Gray w/NLP
      Grand Dam:  SNS Murphy Brown, 34" Dark Brown


A carbon copy to his older full brother, Benjamin, Pierre is just fantastic. He is black with a small star and visible cross and is tiny as anything. Pierre (named by my dad before I had the chance to come up with a "distinguished" name on my own!) is so very cuddly and friendly, and just adores attention from people. He has a nice, full pedigree from both sire and dam and should mature around 33". He will be registered prior to leaving our farm and must go to a home having at least one other donkey as a companion.

Red Jack
DOB 4/06/09

Sire:  Shorecrests Little Buddy, 32.5" Light Red
      Grand Sire:  Lawzyday Farm's Cherokee, 29.5" Red
      Grand Dam:  Springlake Rosebud, 33" Light Red


Dam:  TST Dolly, 34" Gray *MSF (masked spotting factor)
      Grand Sire:  Untraced
      Grand Dam:  Untraced


An awesome little jack foal, Princeton has a very nice build and likely will mature in the 33" range. His red color makes him stand out in the pasture, and his color should darken as he matures. Because his dam's pedigree is untraced and since he will probably mature over 32", Princeton is being sold as pet-quality. He will make a wonderful, friendly addition to your family, or would also make a fine show gelding. He will be registered prior to leaving our farm and must go to a home having at least one other donkey as a companion.
